Externally, the property occupies an impressive plot of almost half an acre, a rarity for such a central location. The mature gardens are a true haven, featuring established trees, fruit trees and well-tended planting, creating a private and tranquil setting.

The delightful walled garden is a hidden gem - beautifully embodying the charm of a traditional English country cottage garden. Enclosed by characterful stone walling, the space offers a high degree of privacy and a wonderfully sheltered, sun-filled setting.

A generous gravel driveway provides ample parking, alongside
a double garage/workshop, two additional outbuildings and a spacious home office, offering excellent storage and further potential.

Positioned discreetly within the grounds of the main house, the cottage provides a peaceful and private setting despite its central High Street location. Internally, it is thoughtfully arranged with a welcoming open-plan living and dining space, alongside a well-equipped kitchen and a comfortable double bedroom with
ensuite shower room.

Ideal for continued letting, guest accommodation or multi-generational living, it adds significant flexibility and appeal.
